As everyone knows Brian's tumor returned. He had a second craniotomy on November 19th to try and remove as much of the tumor as they could again, They didn't take as much of the tumor this time, but they did remove quite a bit of necrosis and went down to white matter. The outcome of the surgery has not been even close to what we expected. The cancer has begun to progress quite quickly. He is now paralyzed in his right leg and has very little motor skills on the right side either. His vision has also decreased and speech is more like gibberish then actual sentences most of the time. We have day nurses here everyday and still have our wonderful nurse Mary Jane who comes every few days. She has been like an angel to us and has been with us since the start. We now also have a palative doctor who comes every few days also, she is very informative and does everything she can to keep Brian feeling as well as he can. Brian's world has shrunk quite a bit these last few months and he feels like his days drag on because he can't do much but sleep and watch TV.  His appetite has also stopped quite a bit, certain foods he gets really excited about eating (Subway lol) but most other stuff he could really care less. Will keep everyone updated as things progress.
